I really, really liked this book. It’s about Hunter, who is in a boy band with his best friends. Some not-so-flattering texts are released by his ex that talk about their sex life and relationship, and his label is not happy with the image it puts out. 

This was so fun to read and it was a perfect way to end the weekend.

Hunter and his constant worrying about not messing up and only being seen a certain way was so relatable. His anxiety and frustration were easy to feel. I loved the supportive friends he surrounded himself with, as well as the manager, family, and security. I admit I was also suspicious of Kaivan at first because of those interviews we (as the reader) got to see before Hunter, but he grew on me. I truly cannot imagine having to not be myself and being sold as an image. Some of the things the boys had to do made me cringe. I did love the cute dates Hunter and Kaivan went on, their kisses were all pretty magical. 

That ending though!!! I loved it so much 😭🥹. All of the boys coming together and supporting each other. And the cute little make up between Hunter and Kaivan. I truly enjoyed myself.
